(don't ya just love posts that start with that subject line? :) )
Forget the CT, trains, roads etc. Irrelevant. We need CANADIAN PAINT! Dammit. You gear heads figure out what plane should be introduced. I don't care. Planes don't win fights, markings do! Cripes, we've got a BRAZILIAN plane in here of all things! Where's OUR representation? Come on you Canucks, hear my battle cry and take up the fight! ONWARD EH! RCAF into AH!

Was Canada even in the war? :confused:
Did Canada have and Air Farce? :D
OH MY!™ :eek:

Not until we get a Mexican AF P-47. :D
-
hmmm, an hour and all you've gotten is two responces from non-canucks. I think the rest of your countrymen must be out getting drunk and watching hockey.
I'm curious tho', why would you want a plane with Bob & Doug's picture on it?
SOB

...is to let our GUNS do the talkin' not our KEYBOARDS.
:D

As long as Geddy Lee comes from the radio, I'm open to planes from our northern national park.

LOL
heheheheheh
OK I'm close enough to Canada to agree with Nash on this one. Come on Nate, & Sfly, find em a nice set of canadian markings for a nice obsolete plane. :)
Hmmm DeHaviland Beaver with a .50 mounted on each float perhaps? :)

Looks like that prop is Finnish made. Shoulda use Torspo-Prop instead.

Thanks Ghosth. Mighty nice of ya. That particular plane has got a 1200 pound payload. Now, bear with me here. Enough beer is injected into the typical party keg to achieve a target weight of 159.8 pounds (extra beer that sometimes accumulates on the neck of the keg is vented into a drain, although the system is generally accurate). So, do you know how many kegs of beer that puppy can haul? I did the math. Seven point five. Or more accurately, 7 kegs, 3 cases and four bottles. Not exactly a Lancaster but...
We'll take it! Anything! Throw us a frickin' bone here!
Lets hear your support!
It is time.
Say it with me brothers and sisters!
EH into AH!

We don't get fair and equal representation Nash.
As a true Canadian we have to learn to accept what ever the governing body throws at us.
That would include HTC.
Remember if we do get paint, they'll tax the hell out of it.

Well that's just HORSE PUCKY now aint it???
AINT IT?!!!
I did some fact checking.
The RCAF had a peak wartime strength of 215,200 fighter guys and related people comprising 78 squadrons. It was the fourth largest allied air force.
Do you know what that means in REAL NUMBERS FOLKS?!! That's like 18-26 times the number of Finlandians and about 47 to TWO HUNDRED OR SO times the number of Brazilites!!!! This aint X-Plane and this aint about FEEL! It's a reality dammit!
Those Findlanditians had 96 Aces. Us Canucks had something like 136 Aces give or take some canucks. Who the hell KNOWS how many Brazilarians were Aces.
Battle of Britain? We were there.
Malta? There.
The Western Desert campaigns? There too.
The Pacific? Yup.
Burma, Ceylon and on and on. Been there, done it, flew it, got shot at.
But yet the Finlandinians and Brazilishonians have representation here and the Canadians don't?
This is an outrage. It cannot be tolerated. Speak up now. Write to your local Omnibudsman. If you're not part of the problem you are part of an indirect role in some solution.
'nuff said!

Hear Hear Brother Nash!!! Canada also manufactured Hurris and Lancs. This is getting insulting. Don't make us bomb the Baldwins! :D
-
We'll take the Toronto built Mosquito that you very much!!..Btw,Geddy Lee's mother was a Concentration camp survivor..He can be my wingie anyday.. :cool:

The more countries you represent with aircraft markings, the more players your sim attracts +)

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen!
(..and you Canadians too)
Lots of talk, but where's the UNDERSTANDING?
Certainly by now you should know the way things work?
I'd suggest starting with a refrigerated truckload full of a selection of the finest Canadian beers (in bottles). One of you should be able to drive it down to Grapevine in just a few days.
Of course, you'll want to include a folder of interior/exterior photos of the aircraft you desire in the paint schemes that are most fitting.
Just a suggestion.

Ahh... Toad! <S> Unlike your last reply I think you got this one into the the thread you intended it to go. Well done sir.
And you are correct! We've obviously overlooked the bribe scheme. Well how about this...
If we get Canadian paint, I will immediately send out a check* to HTC knocking one dollar off the purchase of:
a) A Royal Canadian <cough> Mounted Beaver t-shirt. Excellent quality with a 50/50 cotton poly blend. Holds up well under multiple washings:

OR for her...
A fine sweatshirt from the Wet Beaver(tm) line of sportswear:

AND... I will throw in TWO autographed Jason Priestly posters because that's how nice a guy I am:

OK???
Now this is the carrot... do not MAKE me bring out the stick.
WE... ARE NOT... MESSING... AROUND.

If you would kindly just provide your snail mail addy I will get on the way an aid package that will make your long fruitless wait for a Canadian Brewster Buffalo seem shorter.

Um...didn't the Canuckian markings look...er...just like the British ones? In WW2 at least?
Maybe you already HAVE a Canuckian plane and just don't realize it...
-
Nice DIVERSIONARY tactic jedi! I already DID research on a bunch of stuff (see above) and now you want to stonewall us by saying WE MAY ALREADY HAVE CANADIAN PAINT? Are you sure you're not one of those LW guys? So now I gotta go tracking down the serial numbers and markings of the planes we have? I am only one man.
I can see this is getting serious...
Go to the planes section of this website. Check out the P51 or P38... even the Fw 190A-8. They all have nice write-ups about who flew them, what squadron they were in... under a section called "Markings"!. Funny... Nothing there for any of the RAF birds and certainly no indication of ANY RCAF presence.
Coincidence? I think maybe!
Frankly, in the face of such a groundswell and popular hoser support for this movement - HTC's silence on the matter is telling enough... I don't think any more of this so called "research" stuff is required thank you very much.
'nuff said!
Rise up and shout it with me hosers!:
EH into AH!
